Answer:


(1)/(9^(8))

Explanation:

When multiplying two numbers with exponents with the same base, you simply add the two exponents together, even if they're negative:


9^(-5)*9^(-3) =9^(-8)

When a number has a negative exponent (
x^(-2)) it means that the number is equal to 1/that number (
(1)/(x^(2)))


9^(-8)=(1)/(9^(8))
